Do you think it's safer to use the DC to purchase MO's at WM or load serve?

It's said now they switched to reset limits monthly. Have you loaded $1000 already this month?

Anyone have any recent experiences loading mycash cards while traveling? I once saw a report somewhere that loading cards while traveling sets off paypal's fraud alerts and causes the account to be frozen.

more details on the timeline: on 2014.06.22 my PP mycash status showed $4,000 available to load for the month...i proceeded to load $500 per day over the next week and a half (not every day).
as of 2014.07.21 my pp mycash status shows only $3,000 available to load for the month with no explanation as to why this limit is set at this value.
is this a case where i should call pp mycash support or would they not be helpful?

Shoot. I want to start funding my pp account to get the small boost of combined arrival purchases and pp debit cash back. But the way it sounds, even small, normal spending (about3-4k/mo) will get the stink eye and my account frozen for "fraud." Any comments or experience on using PP debit for daily spend? (yes, I've been reading but haven't seen any posts with this type of activity.)

If it's like what I got, the call happened shorty after transferring from a personal account to a business account. It's automated similar to fraud alert on other banks (citi, chase, amex, etc...). And you just have to confirm the transaction by hitting a few phone buttons. No human interaction.
